Well it involves a pan; if it's not a no-stick pan, you'd need some kind of oil or butter to melt. Then, you crack a couple eggs in a bowl, toss the shells away, whisk the eggs, add a little pepper and salt if you like that. Then, pour the eggs into the pan. Let it sit there til there's some bubbling going on underneath the surface. Sprinkle some shredded feta, a little well-drained spinach, some sauteed mushrooms, a little chopped bell pepper, a minced shallot, and fold. Flip the folded omelet to sear the other side, and serve.
I eat eggs almost every day (usually 3 with breakfast). I fully endorse a low carb/glycemic diet and eggs are a big part of that. Im very lean (6-8 pack abs at mid 190's) with very low cholesterol--stay with the eggs!
Oh for crying out loud, eat what you want already, just in moderation, exercise but don't overdue it, cut back on the fast food, sweets, and pop (pepsi, coke, sprite, etc.). No less than about 1200 calories daily with moderate movement as in exercise and you can safely lose 1 - 2 pounds per week.
Gaining weight would take an increase in calories and a cut back on workout so you do not expend more calories than you consume.
It depends on your cholesterol levels. If you are healthy in that area not so bad (although 4 is overdoing it IMO). I would definitely have this checked before I went ahead with the 'okay'.
When I was younger, fast metabolism, very skinny could NOT gain weight to save my life, my cholesterol was through the roof. If yours is high, very very bad to have this many eggs.
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with eggs, but the OP's talking about eating 2 dozen eggs a week, which just seems like a lot. I'd say the same thing if he was eating 4 grapefruits a day or 2 heads of cabbage or something. Anything in large quantities could be a problem.
Probably his best bet would be to eat his four egg-a-day diet for a week or two, then go to his doctor for blood work just to make sure his body isn't reacting poorly to it.
While the link between eggs and cholesterol -- and between cholesterol and heart disease -- is well established, this study sheds light on the extent of their potential harm if eaten routinely in large quantities. A single large egg contains more than 180 mg of cholesterol -- more than a third of a person's daily recommended intake. By this measure, a typical American breakfast alone, with two eggs (plus bacon!), would push well past that. Egg whites, meanwhile, remain excellent.
